I think they all have yellow or white feathers when they are babies. I have 2 cockatiels and one is a Lutino. However they had 3 babies, all were born with yellow feathers. As they got older their feathers started to change. Now 2 of the babies are grey and one is a Lutino.

Feather color will change as it gets older don't worry about it. Just like the skin of new born babies it changes as they grow...

It shouldnt have any feathers if its just hatched. Cockatiels are precocial, which means they are born naked and blind.
